Baked goods with jam

Description

The recipe won't take much time. The sweetness of the cake depends on the jam used. It consists of two layers with a jam filling in between. The top can be grated or cut into pieces of dough. I decorate the cake with powdered sugar, though it can be omitted. The cake is served cooled down—it's much tastier that way.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Knead the dough by hand or using a mixer; the second option is much faster and easier. Cut the butter into the bowl, add sugar, and beat.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Add vanilla extract, salt, and add flour one tablespoon at a time, you may need slightly less.

3. 3

   Step 3

   When the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, turn off the mixer. Place the dough onto the counter and knead it slightly by hand.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Divide it into 2 parts: one larger than the other. Wrap the smaller half in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for half an hour.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Roll out the second part to the size of the baking tray, but not too thin. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Take out the dough and place the jam on it, spreading it over the entire base, leaving 1 empty centimeter on each side.

7. 7

   Step 7

   Remove the dough from the freezer and grate it over the jam, spreading the crumbs, then return to the oven for 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Step 8

   Sprinkle the hot pie with powdered sugar, cut into pieces, let cool, and serve.
